Hohenzollern

7640 - 7" x 22" x 5"

In 1640 the "Waaguhr" was the first mechanical clock that was affordable by the new middle class in Europe. Its simple design allowed for only one hand indicating the hours. The average person of the Seventeenth Century measured time with only three times of day:sunrise, high noon, and sunset.

The mechanism is made of wood and is powered by a roughly hewn rock from the Black Forest.

The Freiburg is by Rombach und Haas.
